EU will ban new internal combustion engine cars from 2035
The EU has decided to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2035. But this is not a direct ban on internal combustion engines, since the technical requirements require zero CO2 emissions, which allows the use of alternative fuels such as hydrogen or synthetic fuel.
The European Commission has officially confirmed the course towards banning the sale of cars with CO2 emissions, which means the gradual disappearance of such vehicles from the market of all 27 EU member states. According to the published plans, the automotive industry must reduce harmful emissions by 55% by 2030.
To make it easier for manufacturers to achieve these targets, the EU has provided financial support in the form of subsidies, as well as the possibility to postpone the introduction of new environmental standards to 2027. In addition, to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles, the creation of the "Battery Booster" program with a budget of 1.8 billion euros is planned, which should stimulate the production of batteries in Europe.
Additionally, the EU has promised to introduce new incentives for those who buy electric cars. At the same time, companies such as Volkswagen and Citroen have already announced the release of more budget-friendly models to increase buyer interest.
